Can I wear glasses while healing from PRK?

September 10, 2018
Asked By:lovethenewkidney in Denver, CO

It has been one month since my procedure. I know it can take several more months to achieve final results. In the meantime, is it acceptable to get an Rx for glasses to sharpen my vision while driving?

Did not follow treatment regime after PRK, stopped steroids too soon, can I start using them again?
Ahad Mahootchi, MD says:

I am surprised you didn't have follow up in this country. Maybe you did and didn't keep the appointment?You shouldn't restart the steroid without physician supervision.Corneal haze and residual prescription are risks of not getting post op visits with PRK.

12 days after PRK, left eye is clear but right eye is blurry. Is it normal? How many days do I need to wait for it to clear up?
Ahad Mahootchi, MD says:

Small fluctations in the vision are normal with PRK for the first few months. It's way to early now to judge. One nice feature of PRK is the ability of the doctor to modify the final prescription based on the drops used after surgery.Good luck to you.
